本文的研究重點在於探討台灣與中國貿易依存度的日益上升及產業間的技術進步，將使得台灣員工因教育程度不同所造成薪資差距有何影響。並利用1993年至2008 年台灣地區人力運用調查資料及台經院產經資料庫並輔以各政府單位的出版品，包括國科會科學技術統計要覽、經濟部工業生產統計月報(年報)、財政部進出口貿易統計月報(年報)，以及行政院國科會-統計資料庫。
研究中利用產業層級資料及員工個人層級資料，並以兩階段最小平方法(2SLS)及普通最小平方法(OLS)實證方法加以估計：實證結果指出與中國貿易依存度的增加對低教育程度員工影響程度最劇烈，而產業間的技術進步對高教育程度員工影響最深，並使得員工因教育成不同所造成的薪資差距出現擴大的情況，而此結果符合技術變動導致員工技能改變之理論（ skill-biased of technological change-SBTC）

Focus of this study is to investigate the degree of dependence on foreign trade between Taiwan and China and technological progress of industry, will enable employees of different educational levels in Taiwan caused by the impact of the wage gap. Use the data from 1993 to 2008 in Taiwan Manpower Utilization Survey data and Taiwan institute of economic research’s industrial economics database which supplemented by various government agencies publications, including the National Science Council of Science and Technology Statistics Summary, Ministry of
Economic Affairs Industrial Production Statistics Monthly (Annual Report), Trade between the Ministry of Finance (Annual Report) and the National Science Council -
Statistics database.
In the paper which using industry level data and staff personal level data, and use two-stage least squares (2SLS) and ordinary least squares (OLS) to estimate the
empirical method: empirical results indicate that increasing trade dependence with China will cause low-educated workers the most dramatic impact, while the
inter-industry technological progress will influence on the most highly educated employees, and makes the wage gap widening, finally, this results is consistent with
skill -biased of technological change theory.
